Team India will face arch-rivals Pakistan in a mouthwatering Super 4 clash of Asia Cup 2023 to be played at Colombo on 10th September 2023. It promises to be an exciting encounter as this will be their second match during this tournament.
When these two teams met in the Group Stage, the match was washed out due to rain. India looked in deep trouble at 66 for 4 before Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan stitched a 138-run partnership for the 5th wicket that led India to post 266 in 48.5 overs before heavy rains gave one point each to India and Pakistan.
Pakistan has retained the same playing XI that they fielded in the match against Pakistan. Babar Azam and Co will look to win this encounter to inch closer to the final spot.
